Udinese Form
Udinese are a classic mid-table side that have already taken care of their main objectives for the season. They are a safe 12 points clear of the relegation zone, while the European places are realistically out of reach. With no serious pressure from the standings, the team have been looking solid: in the previous round, they confidently took all three points away at Genoa (2:0), and before that they played out an entertaining draw with Atalanta (2:2). The club’s weak spot remains their defence: 42 goals conceded in 30 matches is the worst defensive record among the top-12 sides in the league.
At least one team failed to score in four of the Friuli side’s last five league matches.
In 15 home games this season, the club have recorded five wins (four draws, six defeats).
No more than three goals were scored in seven of Udinese’s previous eight Serie A matches.
Potential Udinese Lineup (4-4-2)
Maduka Okoye – Kingsley Ehizibue, Christian Kabasele, Thomas Kristensen, Hassane Kamara – Oier Zarraga, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, Arthur Atta, Jesper Karlstrom – Nicolo Zaniolo, Keinan Davis.
In the treatment room, the team have defenders Thomas Kristensen, Jordan Zemura and Alessandro Zanoli, as well as forwards Keinan Davis and Adam Buksa.
Como Form
After 30 matches, Como sit in fourth place (57 points). Juventus and Roma are right behind them — both have 54 points. Right now, Cesc Fabregas’ men are in excellent form, putting together a run of five straight wins. They have been taking points both against the league’s strugglers — in the last round they thrashed Pisa (5:0) — and against direct rivals: away from home they comfortably beat Juventus (2:0), then followed it up by taking all three points against Roma at home (2:1). Their numbers are also in great shape: 53 goals scored makes them the second-highest scoring team in the league, and defensively they are the best side in the division — just 22 conceded in 30 matches.
In 14 away matches of the 2025/26 season, the team have picked up seven wins (four draws, three defeats).
Both teams to score landed in four of Como’s last six Serie A games.
The club’s scoring streak in the league now stands at seven matches.
Potential Como Lineup (4-5-1)*
Jean Butez – Ivan Smolcic, Jacobo Ramon, Alex Valle, Diego Carlos – Maxence Caqueret, Nico Paz, Martin Baturina, Sergi Roberto, Maximo Perrone – Jayden Addai
Due to injuries, forwards Jesus Rodriguez and Jayden Addai, as well as defender Jacobo Ramon, will not play.
